how do I install Samba on DS1511+

Postby KAZ47 » Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:59 am

I am having terrible trouble accessing the nas so I would like to try it via Samba. But how do I install this.
I tried following the wikki instructions for file sharing but there was nothing for win7
If I would have knows how difficult this nas system is I never would have bought it.
Soon I will consider selling it on ebaby :evil:

There is no need to install anything at all on your NAS. Maybe a detailled look in this tutorial will help you:

I followed all the instructions, created user etc but the diskstation is still not visible in my workgroup - homegroup win.7. I did see the mapped drive but could not open it.

I tried to map a drive but when I try to enter my network password it always comes up as incorrect and I know for sure it is correct. I even copy and pasted it but still does not work

Maybe you are already logged in with another user? Windows is not able to connect to the same network device with two different users. Try to disable the guest-account on your DS and restart your PC to try again.

It turned out that the password that I set up on the DS worked, but I still cannot see the DS on my computer network or homegroup or windows explorer. I can only access it through the Synology Assistant program.
atm I can access my files with my media player (Popcorn Hour) I can play the movies but I cannot write to the file ie. get media information (fanart, synopsis etc) because it says the file system is read only. I definitely ticked all the boxes to make sure the files are read/write.
